Sorry for not doing these the past couple of weeks. We were having trouble with the PFF account.

As bad a loss as the game against the Bills was, there were some positives to take out of the game.

John Jerry and Mike Pouncey had good games, not allowing a single sack or pressure. They excelled in pass protection and were serviceable in run blocking.

Richie Incognito also did well in pass protection but had a -3.4 in run blocking.

Jonathan Martin was the complete opposite, excelling in run blocking with a 2.6, but doing pretty badly in pass protection, allowing an astounding 7 pressures.

The only player worse than Martin in pass protection was of course Tyson Claob, who allowed 2 sacks and 7 pressures.

For the non-linemen, Michael Egnew has really improved his blocking. He had a positive run block and pass block grade.

All three starting Dolphins wide receivers had positive grades in the passing game. Gibson, Wallace and Hartline all had good games.

Both running backs had good games as well despite subpar run blocking.

It is no secret that Ryan Tannehill had a poor game as a passer, throwing two picks. He had a -1.3 grade as a passer.

Contrary to popular belief, Tannehill is not struggling against the blitz. He had a positive grade of 2.3 when facing the blitz. It is when he is not being blitzed that he is struggling with a -3.0 grade. This is probably due to him not getting a good amount of time to read when 7 players drop into coverage because his offensive line cannot block a 4 man rush.

Overall, the Dolphins allowed 2 sacks and 16 pressures, so even though Tannehill wasn't sacked until the 4th quarter, he was pressured on 16 of his 37 other drop backs.

On defense, Randy Starks had a monster game both in run defense and rushing the passer. Starks had a sack and 5 pressures as well as two stuffs in the running game.

Jared Odrick wasn't far behind with 4 pressures and 1 stuff.

Paul Soliai had three stuffs.

Chris Clemons and Reshad Jones had good games. Jones had 6 stuffs and Chris Clemons had a big interception.

Dion Jordan had 3 pressures in 24 snaps. Makes you wonder why he isn't on the field more often, especially since Cam Wake only played on 22 snaps.

The Bills stepped up the blitzes in the 2nd half and got to RT 3 times. He might be completing more passes against the blitz but he's also taking his share of sacks. I think that "rating" is a little bit of a misnomer. I'll bet the house that the Patriots bring it early and often this week.

Well these are averages over the whole game not one specific play. Agreed fumbles are not put in QB ratings. But your point does provoke a question about his other fumbles. I wonder if they have been mostly when blitzed or not blitzed?
